Hi,

I have a web service in a C#/3.5 project which has been running fine. This is until I set the "SSL port" in IIS to 443 and set the "IIS -> Directory Security -> Secure Communications -> Require secure channel (SSL)" option to true.

Now, the web reference cannot be updated and I cannot add a new web reference to the web service in that site.

When I try to view the service in a browse using just HTTP I get the "This page must be viewed over a secure channel" and when viewed with HTTPS on the front I get "This web page not available."

Could someone tell me how to get a Web Reference added using Visual Studio to this secure web service, please?

Thanks,

Matt.
